Miniature antenna for small PCBs released
A manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for M2M and the Internet of Things, Antenova, is announcing Beltii, (P/N SR4G013), a brand new embedded antenna which measures only 15.6x3.3x4.4mm, and operates with all global public satellite constellations.
Police report rapid rise in drone crime
It seems that for every ‘good news story’ on the use of UAVs, or drones, there is another involving more sinister uses for their capabilities. Only last week Electronic Specifier reported that Amazon had begun trialling its delivery drone service where customers could potentially make an order and have it delivered to their door, by drone, within 30 minutes.
Latest from the imaging market and new potential
Innovative applications such as action cams, drones, head cams and smart glasses are all now as much a part of imaging as taking photos with conventional cameras or smartphones.Areas of application also include the automotive sector, security and medical technology. Across this broad range, global sales of imaging equipment to consumers will rise to 1.6bn units in 2016.
Smuggler drones are on the rise
Police have intercepted two drones loaded with drugs and mobile phones that were being flown towards Pentonville in north London, in an attempt to smuggle contraband into the Islington prison.
Supporting the growing demand for MIPI CSI-2 Interfaces
New enhancements have been made to Microsemi’s imaging/video solution supporting the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) camera serial interface (CSI-2). Customers can use the company’s low power, highly secure IGLOO 2 field programmable gate array (FPGA) and SmartFusion 2 system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA capabilities in CSI-2-based camera systems.
ON Semi to address autonomous vehicles & the IIoT at electronica
ON Semiconductor will focus on four key market segments at this year’s electronica in Munich. Visitors to the over 400 square metre booth will see the company’s latest products and innovations for automotive, the IoT, motor control and wearable devices. Sixteen live demonstrations will show how the various products and technologies can be utilised and combined to enable energy efficient innovations in integrated systems.
